Smoking is bad for living in general if you value your health at all.0

Smoking, in general, doesn't have an impact on weight loss. You're behaviors associated with smoking, as well as the other health affects it has can affect it though.
For instance, if the nicotine curbs your appetite, you might lose weight by starting (or keep weight off by not stopping, or gain weight by stopping). However, the impaired lung function could affect how well your body functions, thus limiting the number of calories you can burn (can't run or walk as much, get winded doing everyday activities, so you stop doing as much, etc).
But smoking cigarettes doesn't add or remove calories, so it can't make you lose or gain weight.0 -
Well, I mean you'll probably lose weight from the chemo when you get lung cancer from smoking.0

Let's put it this way: I weigh more than I did before I quit smoking four years ago (after 27 years as an addict). But I feel a million times better, and I LOOK a million times better, because I'm now able to work out instead of hacking up a lung every time I tried to do any kind of cardio. I'll take a few extra pounds, and I'm addressing those pounds in a gradual, healthy way. My husband actually THINKS I weigh less than I did ten years ago, because I've so improved my muscle tone. Shhhhh.....don't tell! :-)
Smoking isn't good for you. If you don't smoke, don't start. If you do smoke, be kind to yourself and your family, and quit. It isn't easy, but it's the best gift you could ever give yourself.0 -

How many packs a day are you smoking? Have you tried increasing or decreasing the number to see what happens?0 -
Lol dude, you've asked some weird and seemingly extreme questions on here, but this one takes the cake.0

^^This...............seriously? Ever seen anyone with lung cancer or emphysema or COPD?
What do you think putting smoke intentionally into your lungs does to them, not to mention the lungs of the people you subject to 2nd hand smoke.
1 Quit smoking first (or don't start to begin with)
2 Lose weight.
In this order.

As someone with chronic asthma, I'd gladly keep the 40 lbs I have yet to lose on my body forever if it meant I could have healthy lungs.0

^Just quit.
Seriously! Trust me, you can lose the weight without smoking.
You do not need to smoke to lose weight. I watched my mother die from emphysema, my oldest sister die @ age 54 from lung cancer, both life long smokers. Do not do this to yourself..............please.

Throw the effers out!0 -
As someone who has seen a lot of people suffer from lung cancer and coronary diseases (both linked to smoking), just don't. Additionally, there are plenty of overweight smokers.
Overall plan 0/100 -
Additionally, it can make cardio more challenging. Because of breathing, ya know?0

Is this a question you feel ok with asking? Is smoking "ok" for anything? Not being judgemental; I smoked for 23 years, and quit 10 years ago. You're an adult who "just started". No, smoking is just plain bad for everything, including every thing for every person who has to be near you.0

My mother always said she didn't want to give up smoking because she didn't want to gain weight.
An extra 5lb would not have killed her.
COPD did.0 -
I just Googled it, and an adult lung weighs about 2.5lbs, so until you eventually have one removed after several years of smoking, it isn't probably going to help you lose weight.0
-
So you started smoking to help you lose weight?? Yeah, no...0

And why do the 16 remaining cigs need smoked? Seriously, just quit.0 -
I'm not sure what's more sad. That I'm not entirely sure that this is a troll post, or that there might be someone out there in this day and age who would think talking up smoking to lose weight is a good idea.0

Well, for some people the cigarette would take the place of a snack (hence why people gain weight after quitting) so you *could* lose weight but overall it's obviously a terrible choice. As someone who's asthmatic from second hand smoke trying to do workouts is not a good time.
Quit now and eat some frozen grapes or something.0 -
